The Degen link above is broke ...? This one works: https://archive.org/details/gd74-07-31.degen.weiner.gdADT.7363.sbeok.shnf My review from waaaaaaay back in 2013 .... Reviewer: Chris U. - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - October 20, 2013 Subject: Untouchable (in certain respects) The Eyes->China; the WRS; the Lay Me Down. There really are no better ways to experience these songs than this right here. Maybe Dane Country [sic - that would be "county" LOL] '73 soundboard, with the Dark Star leading into into the Eyes->China. And the 9-20-70 and '84 [sic - should be '74!] Palais de Seine version will always be in competition for quintessential TLMD ... but so too will this version. It actually happened. You can here [sic - was this guy high when he wrote this???] the people in real time reacting (or just sitting there with their heads exploding) thanks to this phenomenal recording. Some criticize the wall of sound for the "thin-ness" of the vocals. That may be true for the sound going into the boards but here you discover a mix that sounds like some 50s AM radio broadcast, like the kind Bear heard when he was a kid. Go figure.

I liked your review. Thanks for providing the right link to the show. I am not sure how I messed up.
Amen on this show and the TLMD. It is a hard song to sing and he gets it about perfect. I don't think love songs with the Dead but this one aches.
If I want to hear the Truckin and the jams I start with the TLMD, just because.
This audience puts me right back there with all the clap happys, calling out songs and the sing alongs.
Eyes is up there with Roosevelt as a favorite of mine, very similar sound.
The stand alone Scarlet here is so different from Scarlet in the 82 show but it has a nice rolling beat that moves it on, bouncy. Roosevelt Scarlet is not so much a stand alone but the meat of the PITB sandwich.
The 82 Scarlet > Fire is a lesson in joy and the pursuit of happiness to watch Jerry dance and sing and play.


Good call again Fenario.
